[Phpwm] Where did all the PHP developers go?

[Mike Tipping]

Although cost cutting does mean wages won't go up.

Maybe it's just that in an unstable climate if you have a job you don't jump
ship unless your going to get more security or a much better salary, and
I've not seen a lot of great salaries being offered.

That one earlier today for a graduate PHP dev, linux admin, Android
developer, trainer... All for upto 30K! If that person exists you'll need to
offer than alot more than that.

Cheers

Mike
